Apex EC205 Replacement Soldering Station Sponge

Product Description

The APEX EC205 is a replacement cleaning sponge designed for use with soldering stations. The sponge sits in the soldering station tip holder and removes oxidation and solder residue from iron tips during active work, helping maintain clean tip contact and reliable heat transfer. At 2.5 inches long, 4.63 inches wide, and 0.2 inches thick, it is sized to fit standard soldering station sponge trays. HVAC technicians, electricians, and electronics technicians performing low-voltage control wiring or sensor work will keep these on hand as consumable shop supplies.

This sponge is suited for bench-top soldering work across residential and commercial applications. Common uses include control board repair, thermostat wiring touchups, sensor lead connections, and general electronics servicing in the field or shop. The EC205 is a single-piece replacement sponge sold individually, making it straightforward to restock without purchasing a complete station accessory kit.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools. Power down or unplug the soldering station before replacing the sponge if the tray is positioned close to the heating element. Dampen the sponge with distilled water before use to prevent tip damage from dry contact. Sponges are consumable and should be replaced when they show signs of deterioration or will no longer hold moisture adequately.
